Chord Sender

Chord Sender is a device which follows pitch information in a Live clip to send root note a scale/ chord information to ScaleBots. If the Remote button on the ScaleBot is switched on, the scales it uses will follow those being broadcast by chord sender. At the moment, only one instance of chord sender is required per Live Set.

To automate the chord sender, open up a clip in the same slot as the module. Then enter notes of pitch between C3 and B3 to set the root note (C-B). Then enter notes in the octaves above to control the choice of chord/ scale.
